    Sounds like someone mixed the Bloody Mary's a little strong Sunday morning

    I don't drink. Not very often anyway... mainly because I've never liked the taste of alcohol.

    Mrs. rimrocker and I will occasionally have a glass of champagne to celebrate something worthwhile, but that's about it.

    And it would be Lone Star, not PBR.

    Yes and no.

    Yes, I can get Lone Star should I ever desire.

    No, I don't live in Portland or Eugene. I live in SW Oregon, which is more Repub than Dem. We have a Repub majority on the County Commission and my Congressman is a Repub (the only one in OR as of now).

    after watching some of the political shows go back and show some of the interviews with Mrs. Thomas, I think its clear that Mrs. Thomas issue is that her husband DID flirt with Anita Hill. I think she wants Anita to apologize so it can relax her mind about her husband being attracted to other women.

    Classic misdirection by Thomas to deflect attention away from Liberty Central.

    As Deepthroat told Woodward and Bernstein, "Follow the money..."

    ...

    But to some people who study judicial ethics, Mrs. Thomas’s activism is raising knotty questions, in particular about her acceptance of large, unidentified contributions for Liberty Central. She began the group in late 2009 with two gifts of $500,000 and $50,000, and because it is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit group, named for the applicable section of the federal tax code, she does not have to publicly disclose any contributors. Such tax-exempt groups are supposed to make sure that less than half of their activities are political.

    Ms. Thomas is just trying to rehabilitate her sexaul predator husband. Also the Tea Party is pushing a right wing "feminist" thing and perhaps even some of the women Tea Party leaders don't appreciate sexual harassment.

    Correction.

    There used to be nothing wrong w/ PBR.

    Then hipsters decided they'd be cool and ironic if they made it their drink of choice:

    Hey, when I was a young man in Milwaukee, Pabst kicked complete butt locally over the other local beers, Schlitz and Miller. I used to like to tour the brewery. Anyone know if it still there or is it just a label that is owned by China?

    PS I stopped drinking PBR when I moved to Houston and had to drink the crappy Texas or was it southern stuff. Nothing like the old original brewery.

    Virginia Thomas is a Froot Loop. This stunt was unbelievably dumb. I can't see how she felt anything positive would come out of it for herself or Clarence Thomas. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say he didn't know she was going to do this. Even before your posted story above, he must be pretty ticked off at her.

    She should have talked to someone with a grip on reality before making that call.

    But she did call someone who has a tendency to relay informal conversations in the national media with forensic level recall. So door number two says she's just stupid.

    Its kind of a weird way to build up "feminist" credibility by asking for the victim of sexual harassment to apologize.
